What owners wrote

The interior rearview mirror has a distortion problem. Only in the middle of the mirror is the view clear. But when the view is in the top part or bottom part of the mirror, the distortion takes place. The distortion is in the form of seeing double vision. The best way to notice this is at night when another vehicle is no closer than 100 feet behind you and you look at it through the interior rearview mirror.

October 2001

While driving and upon looking into the passenger side mirror one could not see what was coming up on the side shifter. Consumer contacted the dealer. However, consumer was told there was nothing they could do. Also, transmission will intermittently fail. Consumer stated that when driving through water or mud shift lever will freeze up. Poor design, mud, snow, ice trapped on to shifter cable and safety switch, then they freeze into position and also causes safety switch to malfunction and go bad.
